E. M. Griffith was the first State Forester hired by the State of Wisconsin and was an early leader in developing state forestry programs that shaped Wisconsin forestry over the past hundred years. His pioneering spirit and foresight led to the development of forest reserves in northern Wisconsin, the beginning of farm woodlot research, recognition of the recreational value of Wisconsin's forests, the establishment of a state game preserve and development of a state parks system. Griffith was inducted into the Wisconsin Forestry Hall of Fame in 1984. Very good .
